About Manga Library

Otakon’s Manga Library allows attendees to relax and learn at their own pace during the weekend. Stop by and check out both translated and untranslated manga (Japanese), manhwa (Korean), and manhua (Chinese), or pick up a cultural guide to learn about any of these cultures.

Take a peek at our full collection online and enjoy reading over the weekend. Librarians will be on-hand to answer any questions you may have.

Ready to test your own language skills? Pick up some of our language activities or workbook pages to practice your reading and writing.

*Looking to donate your manga or manhwa to our collection? Contact mangalibrary@otakon.com.
